Highlighting Steve Katz's production and teamed with the same set of musicians from "Berlin" and "Rock'n'roll Animal" creates a decadent scene containing some of the most memorable characterizations of any of 70's era Reed records. Powerful arrangements awash in soulful guitars, lounge style piano and solid backbeats illuminating the upfront vocals sung this time, not spoken by a mellow yet disillusioned Reed. Brimming with certain conviction and melancholy, Reed is the drunk, drugged and depressed blonde nightclub rock star. He wearily describes shattered lives and relationships (Billy, Baby Face) broken dreams (Ennui) effects of electric shock therapy (Kill your sons) debauchery (Ride Sally Ride) and even a girl "in the trunk of a ford" which abuses a top-ten disco beat to slyly yet humorously tell the listener why "Sally Can't Dance". The aforementioned "Billy" powerfully closes the album and takes a completely different musical path but is quite possibly one of Lou's 10 greatest songs. Borrowing heavily from Bob Dylan, it is heartbreaking, ironic and unforgettable. It meanders and cascades for a wonderful 5 minutes much like someone lost walking down the road, soaring and dipping with the best of any blues arrangement you will ever hear. Likewise with "ennui" that uses the slide guitar for much the same effect while still equally as gut wrenching and powerful.
Most of Sally Can't Dance's detractors cite the ambivalence on Reed's part along with the sellout "Soul" style production as reasons for the critical array of this record. We feel the sound strikes a perfect background for the time in which this record was made and the dis-quieting anger and frustration prevalent throughout. It's as if the dirt and filth from the mid-seventies New York street corner got a soul jam going on and Reed was there, as always to capture it in all it's beautiful ugliness and perversity.
An almost masterpiece, as well as an underrated gem that requires repeated listenings to hear the subtleties and emotion that boils below the surface. Not quite as in-your-face as most Lou Reed music, but just as disturbing and powerful.
